disseminating brain damage following NMDA‐induced excitotoxicity

open access: yes, 2002
The ability of cannabinoid CB1, receptors to influence glutamatergic excitatory neurotransmission has fueled interest in how these receptors and their endogenous ligands may interact in conditions of excitotoxic insults.

Protective Potentials of Natural Products Against Vascular Dementia: A Comprehensive Review of Experimental Studies

open access: yesPhytotherapy Research, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Vascular dementia (VaD), accounting for up to 20% of dementia cases globally, is primarily driven by chronic cerebral hypoperfusion (CCH), which leads to progressive cognitive impairment. Despite the increasing prevalence of VaD, effective treatments remain limited.

Distinct Roles of Synaptic and Extrasynaptic NMDA Receptors in Excitotoxicity

open access: yes, 2000
Excitatory synaptic activity governs excitotoxicity and modulates the distribution of NMDA receptors (NMDARs) among synaptic and extrasynaptic sites of central neurons.

Ginsenoside Rh1 Attenuates Alzheimer's Disease‐Like Deficits by Modulating Oxidative Stress and Mitochondrial Dysfunction via SIRT1‐Related Signaling

open access: yesPhytotherapy Research, EarlyView.
Rh1 attenuates oxidative stress and mitochondrial dysfunction through SIRT1‐related signaling. ABSTRACT Alzheimer's disease (AD) remains a progressive neurodegenerative disorder with limited therapeutic options. Ginsenoside Rh1 has been reported to possess neuroprotective properties, yet its specific role and underlying mechanisms in AD are not fully ...

Carbon dots as a smart nanoplatform for the blood‐brain barrier penetration and ischemic stroke therapy

open access: yesResponsive Materials, EarlyView.
This review presents the structure and transport routes of the blood‐brain barrier, summarizes the ischemic stroke pathophysiological cascade, and discusses the BBB‐crossing mechanisms and multitarget therapeutic effects of carbon dots, demonstrating their promising theranostic potential for ischemic stroke.

Gut microbiota dysbiosis in the inflammatory pathogenesis of diabetic retinopathy

open access: yesVIEW, EarlyView.
This graphical abstract illustrates how gut dysbiosis drives diabetic retinopathy through the gut‐retina axis, a process unfolding in three interconnected stages. First, in the gut, a decrease in beneficial bacteria and an increase in pro‐inflammatory taxa compromise the intestinal barrier, causing a “leaky gut” that allows LPS to translocate into the ...

Rodent ischemic stroke models and their relevance in preclinical research

open access: yesNeuroprotection
Stroke is a leading cause of death and disability worldwide, with ischemic stroke caused by an occluded vessel accounting for the majority of cases. Current treatments are limited to recanalization, either through thrombectomy or thrombolysis.

Excitotoxicity in vitro by NR2A- and NR2B-containing NMDA receptors

open access: yes, 2007
Excitotoxicity, exacerbating acute brain damage from brain trauma or stroke, is mediated in part by excessive Ca2+−influx from prolonged NMDA receptor activation.

An Experimental Study on the Protective Effect of Memantine in Noise‐Induced Hearing Loss

open access: yesWorld Journal of Otorhinolaryngology - Head and Neck Surgery, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Objective This study examined the potential protective effects of memantine, an N‐methyl‐D‐aspartate (NMDA) receptor antagonist, against acoustic trauma (AT) in guinea pigs, using electrophysiological and histopathological analyses. Methods Thirty guinea pigs with normal hearing were divided into six groups (n = 5 per group): Group 1 (control),

Investigating the Effect of SER-1 in a Caenorhabditis elegans Model of Glutamate Excitotoxicity

open access: yes, 2016
vi, 30 p.Excitotoxicity, the underlying mechanism common to all neurodegenerative diseases, is the pathology of necrotic effects caused by the prolonged activation of excitatory neurotransmitter receptors in the central nervous system.
